Chapter 787: Chapter 787: Awkward Moment
Ye Ling turned around and saw everyone staring blankly. She asked, "Where are your gifts?"
She looked at Chen Shanshan.
Chen Shanshan was too embarrassed to speak.
Ye Ling said, "Shanshan, since Zijin invited you to her birthday party, didn’t you prepare a birthday gift?"
Chen Shanshan gritted her teeth.
What’s with this Ye Ling, always bringing up uncomfortable topics!
Chen Shanshan said, "My gift... I left it in the car! How about this, when we get to school, I will bring it to you then."
After saying that, she looked at Huo Zijin: "Liang... Zijin, you wouldn’t fuss over such a small thing with us, right?"
Huo Zijin knew clearly.
Chen Shanshan hadn’t prepared a birthday gift at all. She only came to watch her joke.
But, of course, she didn’t care about birthday gifts from people like that.
Huo Zijin said, "Everyone, stop standing at the door. Come on in!"
Only then did the crowd of classmates begin to relax.
They barely digested the fact—Liang Yin was actually the true daughter of the Huo Family!
No matter how they questioned it, the facts were right in front of them!
By the time everyone realized what was happening, they were quite upset internally!
This time, they had truly embarrassed themselves!
What was most enviable was...
Liang Yin’s real family background was so impressive!
The Huo Family was top-notch in Beijing!
Looking at the luxurious mansion and the banquet hall filled with celebrities, including popular stars from the entertainment industry and prominent elites from Beijing.
And the rows of luxury cars parked outside.
Moreover...
She was truly siblings with Huo Linzhou!
Handsome father, beautiful mother, and three talented elder brothers.
How did she get such good fortune!
"Yinyin?!"
Just as Huo Zijin turned around, she heard a strange woman’s voice.
She turned and saw a glamorous woman approaching her gracefully.
Huo Zijin was stunned and looked blankly at Huo Tingdong and Lin Qi next to her: "Dad, Mom, who is she?"
Lin Qi said, "She is Xixi, your sister. You used to like her a lot when you were little."
Huo Zijin suddenly recognized her. This beautiful woman before her was the top trending star, Du Huaixi!
And standing beside her was Li Junyan.
Du Huaixi lifted her skirt and walked up to her, grasping her hand, examined her for a long time: "Yinyin... is it really you? You’ve finally returned!"
She cradled Huo Zijin’s face, looking again and again, finally confirming it was her, happily hugged her.
Huo Zijin said, "Xixi... sister? I seem to... not remember you well."
Du Huaixi said, "Did you forget? Although you were very young then, you were my favorite to tease."
Lin Qi explained to her: "Junyan and Xixi are half-siblings."
Huo Zijin understood the relationship, nodded slightly, and quietly asked Lin Qi: "Did Aunt Yufei... get divorced?"
Lin Qi said, "It’s a long story, I’ll explain it to you in detail later."
Li Junyan walked to Huo Zijin, his gaze lingering on her, unwilling to look away.
Du Huaixi noticed, and couldn’t help but tease: "Yinyin, look at you, dressed so beautifully today, my brother can’t take his eyes off you."
Li Junyan gave her a playful glare.
Du Huaixi obediently closed her mouth.
Huo Zijin smiled looking at Li Junyan.
Li Junyan said, "You are... very beautiful today. Also... happy birthday."
After speaking, he handed her a small gift box.
The whole morning, Huo Zijin had been receiving gifts.
The room was filled completely with all kinds of gifts, each one being very expensive.
There were jewelry, dresses, designer bags, and even a house.
But what Li Junyan gave her was such a small box.
Huo Zijin was very curious about it.
Li Junyan said, "Do you want to open it and see?"
Huo Zijin asked, "Can I open it?"
Li Junyan neither agreed nor disagreed.
Huo Zijin stuck out her tongue: "Then, I’m not going to be polite!"
She was really curious.
So, in front of Li Junyan, she opened the gift box.
Inside lay a delicate car key.
Huo Zijin was a little surprised.
The car key had the signature Rolls-Royce logo, but it was custom-made, with pink leather, and diamond-studded function buttons.
Huo Zijin asked, "What is this?"
Li Junyan said, "I’ve customized a pink Phantom for you."
Huo Zijin was a bit shocked: "Custom-made?"
Li Junyan said, "Yes. Do you like it?"
Huo Zijin said, "But... I don’t have a driver’s license yet."
Du Huaixi chimed in earnestly, "Let my brother accompany you to get your driver’s license then."
Huo Zijin blushed unexpectedly.
Nearby, Rong Yin noticed the blush on her face and felt a strange unease in his heart.
She had never blushed for anyone before, but would only blush for Li Junyan.
Could it be...
Does she like his brother?
Rong Yin felt somewhat uneasy in his heart.
He didn’t know if his guess was true.
If it were true...
Du Huaixi looked at Rong Yin: "Ah Yin, why are you spacing out? Where’s the gift you prepared?"
Rong Yin snapped back to reality and saw Huo Zijin looking at him with anticipation.
Rong Yin awkwardly walked over and handed her a finely wrapped gift.
Huo Zijin said, "Thank you."
She handed the gift to the butler without much thought.
Rong Yin seemed surprised, "Aren’t you curious about what gift I gave you?"
Huo Zijin said, "It’s not your perfect exam score, right!"
Rong Yin scoffed, "You can’t be that boring!"
Huo Zijin habitually ruffled his hair: "Okay, I know, tonight, I’ll open your gift first."
Rong Yin huffed arrogantly, but secretly felt satisfied with her words!
Chen Shanshan stood aside, her face was as flushed as a ripe tomato.
She had tried so hard to show off her connection with celebrities, just to impress her classmates, but here, such a celebrity had a close relationship with Huo Zijin.
Her gaze returned to Li Junyan.
She heard people introduce him as the heir of the Li Family, currently the president of Dishen Finance, with top-level wealth.
Moreover, what astounded everyone was... this man was extremely handsome!
He looked young, was extraordinarily handsome, dignified in appearance, exuding nobility at a glance!
Especially when he looked at Huo Zijin, the affection in his eyes seemed about to overflow.
With so many people surrounding Huo Zijin, she seemed like the darling little princess adored by all.
All of Chen Shanshan’s sense of superiority was utterly shattered.
She stood there, gritting her teeth, feeling deeply discontented!
"Shanshan..."
Some classmates looked at her: "Didn’t you say earlier... that Liang Yin and Huo were dating? But it seems like things aren’t as you said..."
